I-20 across north LA, the heart of Mississippi Delta and bumfuk rural Alabama (and Alabama is actually the cleanest and best part of the drive).

I've never seen nastier gas stations and shittier major roadways in America....it's genuinly depressing to even drive through there for a moment, much less 9+ hours of it.

And just how much $$ have the state and local politicians of Jackson Miss stolen from the taxpayers due to 'road work' over the last 40 yrs?

There are some drives across the Midwest that are boring AF.

Almost any interstate drive in this country sucks veiny cocks but I'll tell ya. That drive through the Florida interior on your way to Disney frick has got to be one of the very worst.

You chose Gulf Shores as your destination for your summer vacation and you start a thread bitching about the trashiness of your drive to get there?

I have no particular problem with Gulf Shores, been there many times with family when I was younger.

But you’re really lacking any sort of self awareness with this post

And driving past those stockyards. Holy shite, that frickin' stink. Nothing comes close to it.

Better than driving down i12/10 through LA. Always a disaster.

Yes. So bad that I think I’m flying into Mobile and renting a car this year. Can’t stand another year of that drive.

In terms of boredom?

- parts of desolate West Texas can be rough

- western Nebraska heading into Colorado

- the drive from Omaha south through Kansas is one I’ve made many times and it feels increasingly longer and more miserable each time.

I drove overnight from North Carolina to Omaha in a Mazda Miata. The roads in Kentucky beat my spine to shite and there were parts of southern Illinois and Missouri that were like stepping back in time.

I 10 from Beaumont to Talahasse is an endless see of pine trees and bayou.

The hard part is US49 from Jackson to Hattiesburg. So many small towns and stoplights.

Not bad, just long. SO and I drove it recently to get to her mom and stepdad (both of whom were in the hospital and had just gotten released).
